CGI, the Common Gateway Interface, is a method for World-Wide Web servers to interact with external programs, most often through forms. However, cautious system administrators restrict ordinary users' permission to excute CGI scripts because of security concerns.
HTML 4.0 introduced a <script> element to enable an
HTML document to call external programs more directly.
Netscape had previously introduced a popular interpreted
scripting language called JavaScript, which has since been
standardized by ECMA. See, for
example, javascript world for
more information. A different but related compiled programming
language java also has spread
around the World-Wide Web like wildfire. One source for java information
is Gamelan.
